Thanks for the reply's guys. Lynnwood.. I have Ubuntu installed and working on my network (outside address as to not have anything blocking right now!!), but when it came time for the box to listen to the AMPR RIP broadcasts, I never did see anything. The notes say to let it sit for a little bit.. I let it sit for two days before I got back to it! :) So.. I haven't been diligently working on it, that's on me. But something seemed to go awry. Dangit. That's on me toooooo!! :( I'll try and get back to it over the next few days, and report back again. But if there are any ideas off the tops of ones heads.. Hit me with your best shot.. Fire Away!! Thanks. -- Rod Ekholm kc7aad(a)gmail.com
